Knife-Wielding Attacker Kills Two, Injures Five At Ecuadorean Political Rally

A campaign rally in the town of Quininde for Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa turned deadly when a man charged into a crowd of Correa's supporters with a large knife and began attacking them.

Two people were killed and a further five were injured in the stabbing spree, which occurred two weeks before the February 17th elections that Correa is widely expected to win. A man suspected to be the attacker is currently in police custody.

You know what, if you were a REAL concealed gun carrier, you wouldn't be among those commenting on this video. That knife was drawn really quickly and viciously, the victims didn't stand a chance. The only argument you wold have is that you could have *tried* to shoot the guy after his second-third hit, but not before: too close, too fast. And if you are a gun user, you would also know that hitting such a dynamic target surrounded by civilians is fecking *hard*!! super-pro stuff! (I've worked atMore.. a project with a major gun industry company, to measure the effectiveness of instinctive shooting - you'd be surprised to see the results)Less..

"It is one thing to read about the 21 foot rule, it is another to actually see it done. Many times people think that they will shoot as well under stress as they do at the range. Usually not the case. I wanted people to better visualize the Tueller Drill and 21 foot rule.
Contact us for demos, your officers might take the 21 foot rule more seriously. The 21 foot rule states that the average person with a bladed weapon can run and cut you in about the same amMore..ount of time that the average person can draw and shoot a gun. "

@bathory72 I agree, I carry a rescue knife on me with a 4 inch blade in a pouch it is the max legal length here I use it almost daily. I am ex army and I still could have dropped it while rushing to get it out with all that adrenaline rushing through my body..

At least he didn't have an assault rifle if he had then 10's would have been slaughtered the same way Americans often slaughter their fellow countrymen because of their pathological lunatic asylum gun obsession.

Time to ban knives. They, like those nasty firearms, have no purpose but to kill people. And, if we can't ban knives, we should limit the number of serrations on them to no more than 10 because nobody really needs 11 or more serrations.

@tsmith well I'm still not comfortable with the remaining knives in the hands of private citizens. We need a knife registry, any knives without serial numbers should have them etched in and all new knives should be serialized. You should also have to have a license to own and/or purchase knives. The amount of knives owned by any one individual shall not exceed 3. Special permits can be obtained by culinary experts with the appropriate paperwork.

@BadBuzzKilla And, don't forget that we need to etch the knife's serial number on it's scabbard so that if someone transfer's their scabbard to someone else and that someone else uses it in a crime, then we can go after the original owner for illegal scabbard transfer.

@Sicko Nobody died when that nut was randomly shooting in a crowd of tourist during Clintons term.We can talk about what the freak could have done under different circumstances all day(he could have set off a homemade bomb,ect)but the point people are trying to make is you cant cure crazy by being scared and banning shit.

Its that kind of mentalitiy that allows the TSA to finger your butthole.

@Christafa1982 your thinking surprises me, for an American. How about, instead, placing metal detectors and extra guards at the entrance of such venues? Now that would be a more capitalistic thinking.. ;)

Knife,gun whatever,just because you get stabbed doesn't mean you will die,just as getting shot,even multiple times doesn't mean you will die.Life is terminal,we all die from something,but I'd rather have a chance to fight back with something other than a stick.BTW all the Brits posting,you have a much higher violent crime rate per capita than the U.S. so..you know just saying.

Come live here, we had the raurimu machete murders, guy took out multiple people as well. Time is all a gun saves when someone is out for blood. It's obvious a gun 10 minutes away via phone is not as safe as next to me!

When will the world realize that we have to ban all assault knifes? No one needs a knife longer than two inches to cut their veggies. I call for a world-wide knife registry, so we know who owns these heinous weapons.
